The Chronicle Duke, UNC share S2IM grant for AIDS research By GREG PESSIN The Chronicle

AIDS researchers at the Medical Center and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, as well as North Carolina’s thousands of AIDS and HIV patients, will benefit from a $2l million five-year grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases to fund ongoing and new'Studies. Although Duke and UNC-CH applied separately for the grant, both were awarded money—sB.s million to Duke and $12.5 million to UNC. The grants were awarded based on the number of AIDS and HIV patients an institution treats and studies, the original ideas it has generated and the quality of data and scientific pa-

pers it produces. “Over the years, both the Duke unit and the North Carolina unit have been very effective at reaching the effective

population in the state,” said Dr. Frederick Batzold, a spokesperson for the National Institutes of Health, the NIAID’s parent organization. Nearly every AIDS patient in the state is treated by one of the two health system giants—each treats about 1,200 patients. The money will be used to help relieve the burden of medical and lab costs as well as transportation fees from patients and the state programs that support them. It will save the state $3 million annually. Over the next several months and years, researchers at both schools will enroll 1,000 patients in a series of studies designed to test new and existing AIDS drugs and their effects on different types of patients in various stages of the disease. The funds will be used to pay for the subjects’ transportation to and from clinics, medicaSee AIDS GRANT on page 11

Respected professor, engineer dies Officials reflect on Colleagues and students continue to grapple with Allen Dewey’s sudden death late-night services By RICHARD RUBIN The Chronicle

Allen Dewey, an electrical engineering professor hailed by colleagues as a hard-working and dedicated innovator, died unexpectedly Dec. 17. He was 43. Kristina Johnson, dean of the Pratt School of Engineering, said Dewey’s death was a “huge loss” for the school. “I found him to be a wonderfully sensitive, hard-working individual that I had a lot of respect for, and I was very sad to hear of his passing,” she said. At about 5:30 p.m. Dec. 17, Dewey was found in his car, parked in a field off Mount Moriah Road. His death was listed as a suicide by the Orange County Sheriff’s Department. Dewey’s sudden death surprised his colleagues. To say that people were shocked is an understatement,” said Professor Richard Fair, who collaborated with Dewey on research projects. “This kind of thing just leaves me with all kinds of questions. It’s very unsettling.” Several of those who worked with Dewey said they never thought he would consider suicide. “In talking with him and working with him personally... there’s no way imaginable. I wouldn’t have imagined that this could have happened,” said Pratt senior Jon Lam, who was working with Dewey on an independent study. Dewey, an associate professor who came to Duke in 1997, specialized in integrated electronic systems and micromechanics, with an emphasis on system architecture, Fair said. “He was. quite gifted, a very gifted

intellectual.”

His latest project was studying “biochips,” electrical systems that interface with biological components. He planned a spring semester course on biochips, which will now be taught by another instructor. Dewey was a hard worker who often lead large government-funded research projects, said Associate Professor John Board, associate chair of the electrical and computer engineering department. One of Dewey’s major achievements was persuadmg industry leaders to accept a set of standards for

Although many students used the 24hour dining, bus and library service during exams, officials say the plan was expensive—especially after 2 a.m. By DREW KLEIN The Chronicle

Who needed Honey’s? When University officials kept many services operating around the clock during finals week, many students appreciated the luxury of strolling into the Pits in the middle of the night. But administrators are discovering that keeping services open literally all night is costly—maybe too costly. Students could enjoy 24-hour bus service, dining options and gym access during finals week in

that,” Board said. Ted Harder, a second-year graduate student at the Pratt School, said Dewey was also an effective advisen “He was really ambitious, a hard worker, and he demanded the same from his students,” he said. “And so he was challenging to work for.” Dewey, originally from Sherburne, N.Y., received his doctorate from Carnegie Mellon University and served as an officer in the Air Force.

mid-December. But the University lost about $13,400 running the project, said Associate Vice President of Auxiliary Services Joe Pietrantoni. Now, administrators must determine if the project should continue in future semesters. Pietrantoni was generally pleased with the results of the venture, especially in the first part of the night. “It was a success in that students used it,” he said. But, he added, “We found that after two in the morning, people stopped using it.” Director of Dining Services Jim Wulforst agreed. “Students really appreciated us being open,” he said. “But after 2 a.m., there was hardly anyone at all.” Wulforst said there were 200 or 300 customers every hour up until 2 a.m., but it dropped to below 40 students later in the night. Wulforst said a better solution would be to keep the Marketplace and Great Hall open until about 2 a.m., minimizing financial losses while See 24-HOUR SERVICES on page

Judge gives 13-year-old light sentence Nathaniel Abraham will serve a 7-year term in a juvenile detention center By KEITH BRADSHER N.Y. Times News Service

A state PONTIAC, Mich. that the Thursday here ruled judge youngest American ever charged and convicted as an adult of murder will serve a seven-year sentence at a maximum-security juvenile detention center and then be released. The unexpectedly lenient sentence stunned prosecutors and disappointed lawmakers. Oakland County Circuit Court Judge Eugene Moore rejected prosecutors’ request that Nathaniel Abraham, 13, who was convicted of a

murder committed when he was 11, be sentenced to serve additional time in an adult prison unless he

has clearly been rehabilitated by the age of 21. Moore also read from the bench a ringing denunciation of the national trend over the last decade toward trying and sentencing younger and younger children as adults, saying that society has leaned too far toward punishment instead of rehabilitation. Moore called for changes in the three-year-old law that makes it possible for children of any age to be tried as adults in Michigan. He

called the law “fundamentally flawed” and suggested that the state return to its practice before 1997 of reserving such trials and sentences for children who are at least 14 when they commit crimes. “The Legislature has responded to juvenile criminal activity not by helping to prevent and rehabilitate, but rather by treating juveniles more like adults,” Moore said in his sentencing opinion. “The real solution is to prevent an adult criminal population [from] ever corping into existence.” See SENTENCING on page 8

Russia restricts movement of Chechen men By BRIAN WHITMORE N.Y. Times News Service

The Russian military, reeling from a MOSCOW series of bold attacks by separatist rebels in Chechnya, has started cracking down on civilians, preventing Chechen men and boys from fleeing or entering the war-torn province Human rights advocates are condemning the policy as endangering civilians. The punitive restrictions illustrate one of Russia’s fundamental problems in its military campaign in Chechnya. The Kremlin has said for months it is fighting “terrorists and bandits” in an effort to bring law and order to the troubled region. But frequently the conflict has looked more like a war waged by Moscow against the entire Chechen people. Soldiers at border checkpoints between Chechnya

Man caught while Pratt ponders adding freshman course “I think there is, the 280 or so engineering students stealing bicycles [in each class], a significant percentage who By MARLA ZIMMERMAN The Chronicle

From staff reports A man was charged with larceny, trespassing and resisting, delaying and obstructing a police officer after a Duke University Police Department officer observed him stealing a bicycle from the Blackwell Dormitory bike rack, said DUPD Maj. Robert Dean. Dean described the incident as follows: The officer noticed the man carrying a bicycle wheel from Blackwell toward Randolph on Dec. 25 at 10:01 a.m. After setting the wheel against the building, the man went to the Randolph bike rack and picked up a bicycle that was missing its front wheel. 1 011CG As the officer approached ~

transfer to Trinity. I’m trying to understand why that is.” Kristina Johnson, DEAN OF THE PRATT SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING

Another reason is that students ultimately are trying to get started on a career in engineering, and she thinks the University should offer an “integrative design course” to expose them to the opportunities available when they graduate. Johnson said the concept for the course has been turned over to a working group that will discuss the idea further in January and February. The development of the introductory course is part of the Pratt strategic planning School’s process, which is examining the entire curriculum. Pratt freshman Astade Krishnaswamy thinks the course is a good idea. “In college, half of the battle is deciding what you want to do,” he said. Pratt freshman Andy Hogg said he would have liked to take such a course. “I have a twin brother at Cornell, and he has a course exactly like it, and he says it’s a good idea,” he said. Hogg added that he does not have very strong feelings about his choice of electrical engineering, and “maybe if I would have taken

She proposed the course and hopes it will be approved in time for fall 2000. MacWilliams emphasized that the proposed course right now is “just an idea,” and that the specific curriculum will not be known until later in the spring. Pratt Dean Kristina Johnson said she supports the course for two main reasons. First, she said the lack of such information may contribute to the relatively high attrition rate within the school. “I think there is, ofthe 280 or so engineering students [in each classl, a significant percentage who transfer to Trinity,” she said. “Fm trying to understand why that is.”

The officer discovered that three bicycle locks had been cut from the Blackwell rack. At his Dec. 28 court appearance, 39-year-old Robert Lee McAdams pleaded guilty to all of the charges. McAdams, who has no known address, was sentenced to 18 months of supervised probation.

Suspect captured: A man was charged Jan. 11 with two counts of breaking and entering and one count of resisting, delaying and obstructing police officers, Dean said. A second suspect escaped from the scene. A Parking Services employee reported two employees’ cars were broken into in the H overflow See

Whereas freshmen in Trinity College have two full years to decide on a major, students in the Pratt School of Engineering basically have to know from the beginning which of the school’s four subdisciplines they will pick when they arrive at the University. To help students solidify this decision, Pratt officials are considering a new course that would expose freshmen to biomedical, civil, electri-

Johnson said. Pratt senior Carrie Shoemaker agreed. She said she would have taken the course as a freshman, “so when I made my choice, I knew I was choosing the one that was definitely more interesting.” Pratt freshman Zack Walton stressed, however, that the course should not be mandatory. “I’m sure it would be great for people who don’t know what type of engineering they wanted to be,” he said, “but for people who have already decided, it would be a waste of time.”

MLK Day planners hope events will attract diverse crowds By JAIME LEVY The Chronicle

After the much-praised success of last year’s Martin Luther King Day celebration, the planners of this year’s events hope to include a broader cross-section of the University community in the programming, which starts today. “A lot of our theme this year was to incorporate as many different types of people as possible...,” said Trinity senior Jeremy Huff, Duke Student Government vice president for community interaction. “Music, theater, film, poetry, science and technology, history... It adds a lot to the week because it maybe caters to different types of people.” Although he did not have a final cost for the week’s festivities, Huff—co-chair of student planning_noted that the larger organizing committee’s overall budget was around $40,000. Huff expects Sunday afternoon’s keynote speaker, US. Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., to provide a strong link between the past and the future. As chair of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee from 1963 to 1966, Lewis organized 1964’s Mississippi Freedom Summer, a massive drive to increase voter registration and support community action programs.

“John Lewis is the perfect speaker because he’s someone who had a lot to do with civil rights in this country... and he’s also a congressman so he sees the past and the future,” Huff said. “He’s right in the middle of this continuum.”

The week-long celebration begins tomorrow at

noon with a candlelight vigil at the Chapel. Other plans for the week include a Saturday night presentation by performance poet Sekou Sundiata, who is a professor at New York’s New School. The event is partially sponsored by the Duke University Union, which was criticized last year for not helping finance Anna Deveare Smith’s performance. A series of student-organized events will carry though the week. Monday afternoon’s cultural extravaganza and luncheon will include performances and presentations by Dance Black, Diya Dancers,

United in Praise and several other groups. “Our goal is to start a dialogue by representing different groups on campus,” said Trinity senior Rudy Spaulding, the extravaganza’s organizer and co-director of Mi Gente. “We hope observers would get an idea of how diverse our campus is.” Huff added that at the extravaganza, organizers will hand out 2,000 copies of a photo mosaic poster designed to commemorate this year’s celebration. Activities later in the week include a panel discussion called “What is Race?” and a presentation by Spencie Love, the assistant director of the Southern Oral History Program. “We tried to spread out the week with lots of different things...,” he said. “We hope by the end of the week... we have a sense of tradition ofMartin Luther King Jr. Day at Duke.”

Oregon researchers clone rhesus monkey by splitting embryo By PAUL RECER Associated Press

ATLANTA Researchers using a technique called embryo splitting hope to grow genetically identical rhesus monkeys in the laboratory—a breakthrough that would enable experiments such as growing new organs from stem cells to be tested on monkeys rather than mice. Monkeys are closer to human biology. The technique has so far produced only one living rhesus monkey, a fe-

male named Tetra, but Professor Gerald Schatten said that four more twinned infants are on the way. Schatten, a researcher at the Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland, said the goal is to produce identical monkeys that could be used to perfect new therapies for human disease. The study appears Friday in the journal Science.

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine objected to the technique, saying monkeys suffer in research labs. “Making one monkey more similar to another does not make them any more like humans,” said Dr. Neal Barnard, the group’s president. “They are not good models for human health problems. In fact, animal experimentation does a terrible disservice to people with chronic disease.” Most medical therapies are now first tested in mice, but monkeys would be more reliable in developing daring new techniques such as gene therapy or growing new organs from stem cells, said Schatten. “It is a huge leap from a mouse to a patient,” said Schatten. “The monkeys could fill that scientific gap. “Medical research needs to have healthy, genetically-identical animals

so cures can be perfected before they are tested on humans,” he said.

In their research, Schatten and his colleagues created monkey embryos in the laboratory by combining sperm and egg. When the embryos grew to an eightcell stage, they were each split into four parts, with each part containing two cells. These were then nurtured into new embryos.

In effect, he said, the single embryo became four embryos, all genetically identical. The new embryos were then implanted into the uteri of different mothers. In the first test of the technique, the researchers produced a single animal, named Tetra. A twin to Tetra was implanted, but miscarried. Now, said Schatten, four mother monkeys are pregnant with cells taken

from two separate embryos. Three of the mothers were implanted with two

unrelated embryo splits and the fourth mother was impregnated with a single embryo split. Schatten said it will not be known until May, when the animals are born which of the split embryos are develop, ing into infants. “It is likely that we will have genetically identical monkeys born to different mothers,” he said. The technique is not cloning in the sense ofproducing a genetic duplicate of an adult, such as was accomplished with the famed Scottish ewe named Dolly, Instead, said Schatten, the technique clones genetically identical infants that arose from the same embryo. It is virtually unknown, he said, for identical twin rhesus monkeys to be produced naturally.

White House drug office review of TV scripts raises questions By DAVID BAUDER Associated Press

PASADENA, Calif. Television networks say they don’t let government dictate what goes on the air—even though some have run scripts by a federal drugfighting agency and accepted financial credits for antidrug messages in prime-time shows. Broadcast networks’ consultations with the White House drug office, on such shows as NBC’s top-rated ER, Fox’s Beverly Hills 90210 and CBS’s Chicago Hope raised questions about their independence. Representatives of ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox and the WB insisted Thursday that they still call the shots. “At no time has the Office of National Drug Control Policy either sought or been granted creative control over Fox program content,” said Tom Tyre, a network spokesman. ,

The White House drug office said that it had reviewed the scripts of two dozen programs over the past few years for anti-drug messages, sometimes suggesting changes that were incorporated in the final product. A separate arrangement worked out between the networks and the government gave the companies a financial incentive for preaching against drug use. Congress in 1997 authorized an anti-drug TV campaign that advocates hope will have $1 billion in spending over five years. The government bought commercial time on the networks for their ads, and the networks agreed to match that time. With business recently booming for TV ad sales, the government set up an arrangement where networks would get credit for anti-drug messages incorporated in their shows. This freed up commercial time where the

networks would have had to run the government ads, letting the broadcasters sell the time to other companies. The White House drug office valued the programming messages it had approved at $22 million. Tm fairly amazed that there has been any concern expressed about this,” said Rich Hamilton, CEO of Zenith Media, an ad buying firm that helped develop the idea as a go-between for the broadcasters and government. “It has been so above board and clearly voluntary on the part of everyone involved.”. Yet an expert on media ethics said it raises questions about the motives of the entertainment industry. “What it can do for the networks is make it seem that they are only going to run those messages or shows that have prior government approval,” said Aly Colon, a professor at the Poynter Institute.

New statistics on AIDS reveal shift in demographic pattern By LAWRENCE ALTMAN N.Y. Times News Service

For the first time since AIDS was dis-

covered nearly 20 years ago, more black and Hispanic gay men were diagnosed with AIDS than white gay men over a year’s period, federal health officials reported Thursday. A total of 18,153 AIDS cases were diagnosed among gay men in 1998, the most recent year available, and blacks and Hispanics represented 9,182, or 51 percent, of the cases, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in its weekly report. This compares with 8,678 cases, or 48 percent, for white gay men. Black gay men made up one-third of all AIDS cases among gays, Hispanics 18 percent and Asian and Pacific Islanders 1 percent of the cases in that year, the centers said. Since the AIDS epidemic began, most AIDS cases have been among gay men, and white gay men have made up the largest subgroup. But through the years, the percentages have steadily risen for black and Hispanic gay men as those for white gay men decreased. For example, for the years from 1989 to 1998, the percentage of AIDS cases diagnosed among black and Hispanic gay men rose to 51 from 30, and for white gay men it dropped to 48 from 69. GDC officials said that the new figures were the strongest evidence yet of the magnitude of the epidemic among black and Hispanic gay men, and they said the shift was the result of a number

of factors. One was that white gay men organized to educate themselves about the use of condoms and other prevention measures, while minority groups largely ignored the issue of infection with HIV, the AIDS virus, officials said. Stigma about homosexuality seems to be playing a major role in the spread of infection with HIV, and the stigma may be even greater among blacks and Hispanics than it is among whites, said Dr. Helene Gayle, who heads the HIV program at the centers. Also, a CDC survey of 8,780 HIV-infected men who had sex with men found that many infected black and Hispanic gay men who said they became HIV-infected from sex with other men did not identify themselves as homosexual or bisexual. Of those surveyed, 24 percent of black and 15 percent* of Hispanic men who said they had sex with men identified themselves as being heterosexual compared with 6 percent among a similar group of white men. By not considering themselves at high risk for AIDS, black and Latino gay men may not seek or receive the HIV prevention and treatment services they need and may unintentionally put their male and female sex partners at risk, Dr. Gayle said in a news conference. CDC, the federal agency in Atlanta charged with tracking and preventing the spread ofAIDS in the United States, also found that gay and bisexual black and Hispanic men became infected at an earlier age than white gay men.

Military experts criticize new refugee policy in Chechnya �CHECHNYA from page 2 Zura Mumayedova, a refugee who fled Chechnya this week, told Human Rights Watch she saw soldiers send back into Chechnya a 59-year-old man who was trying to flee the fighting. “The Russian soldiers said that, no men aged between 10 and 60 would be allowed through,” the report quoted her as saying. Datu Isigova, a refugee from Chechnya’s capital Grozny, was quoted as saying she was forced by soldiers to leave her 11-year-old son and husband behind as she fled to the neighboring republic of Ingushetia. “Russian authorities are obliged under humanitarian law to do everything possi-

Established 1905, Incorporated 1993

A center for comfort A $13.5 million grant for end-of-life care will help the University provide and improve treatment for the aging population of the United States School alumnus Hugh Westbrook’s $13.5 million gift to create the Duke Institute on Care at the End of Life is a powerful and appropriate statement about the problem of end-oflife care and Duke’s role in it. Like the Center for Documentary Studies, this unique research, teaching and training institute will distinguish Duke as an innovator in an under-recognized area of study. The donation’s magnitude will empower the international center to make a true difference in this important issue, both for clinicians in their bedside care and for the public in its understanding of dying well. A think-tank that sponsors an occasional symposium could have been created for a fraction of this gift. Instead, the center will have the opportunity—and the responsibility—to make significant advances in the quality of end-of-life-care. The donation supplies the center with the resources to distribute its findings to both the public and the medical community. There is certainly a need for research in this specialty. Millions of baby boomers are nearing retirement age, and a greater percentage ofAmericans are over 50 years old than ever before. Additionally, advances in health care have increased life expectancy, meaning that people can expect to spend a greater percentage of their lives in old age. As a result, hospice care will only grow in importance over the next 20 years. The center will be dedicated to comprehensive care for patients. Thankfully, Westbrook and the Divinity School have the foresight to realize that care for the elderly goes far beyond medicines and machines. Millions ofAmericans fret that their final moments will be spent attended by cold contraptions instead of the warm love of friends and family. The center will study the emotional, psychological and spiritual needs of the dying and their relatives as well as their physical necessities. Hopefully, the work of this center will be the salve that soothes the pain felt by both the dying and those who mourn for them. Duke has traditionally been a national leader in geriatric studies. Nearly 50 years ago, it founded the nation’s first interdisciplinary center for the Study of Aging and Human Development, and the Duke Center for Living has helped people of all ages improve their life habits for many years. The new institute will immediately generate ties with other entities that have begun research in this area and should become a worldwide leader in this specialty. Kudos to the Divinity School and Westbrook for the vision to take initiative on this important issue and for the commitment to do it well.

Letters to the Editor

Columnist does not recognize communism is evil I agree with Maureen opinions McClarnon’s expressed in her Jan. 12 column that both Democrats have and Republicans shamefully turned Elian Gonzalez’s situation into a partisan political issue. But her flagrant lack of understanding as to why a mother

would flee Cuba with her son, and her disavowal of “that Cold War equation that communism is necessarily evil,” cries out for correction. McClarnon writes that “Castro persecuted many people.” Could she please name for me the communist regimes we have seen in the

20th century that have not brutally murdered or imprisoned thousands of their own citizens for having nonconforming political opinions? That the previous, non-communist regimes in Cuba and elsewhere reacted brutally to opposition is beside the point. Communism in its application is a brutal, oppressive and murderous system. I doubt seriously that anyone who believes that communism is not evil “in theory” and in nature has ever lived under its rule or listened objectively to those who have. For insight into why a for referenced column, see

mother would risk the open seas with her five-year-old son, and into why thousands of Cubans have risked the same journey for more than “toys... magical kingdoms and the siren call of capitalism,” I urge you to read Against All Hope by Armando Valladares. It is available in Perkins Library and it will help you discover that more than bad marriages and economic opportunity drive Cubans to flee their homeland.

Free speech must be tempered with regulations I for one am totally fed up with this free speech argument whenever totally inexcusable remarks are made concerning race. In a recent editorial in The Chronicle about John Rocker and his derogatory comments toward blacks, homosexuals and single mothers, it was stated that Rocker’s comments were “disgusting and loathsome,” but that Rocker, and everyone else, has a right to free speech. I totally agree with the former point, but I completely disagree with the latter one. If you look at histoty—and even the present-day practice of free speech—regulation has always been present. Back when our glorified

Founding Fathers signed the Bill of Rights, everyone did not possess the right to free speech. After all, millions of black slaves could not even raise their voices to their slave masters, much less speak their views regarding freedom. Once blacks supposedly became full citizens, our federal government allowed another 100 years to pass during which the voices of black Americans were silenced by lynchings and other heinous acts, So here we are today, glorifying this supposed universal right of free speech, but with a new, or shall I say very old twist: the right to express bigotry, racism

forreferenced editorial, see http:/ www.chronicle.duke.edu/export www /

and hatred. It is very ironic that for hundreds of years blacks were not allowed to exercise their right to free speech, but today free speech is hailed as a universal truth. Even today, lyrics of rap artists, who are pie dominantly black, are censured by our federal government. I guess the point of this letter is really these two questions: Who consistently benefits from this universal truth of free speech? But more importantly, who is consistently harmed by this universal untruth?

Then again, the reward for figuring out which is produced in the United States by ’ERTL, is a bit more than the personal satjl puzzles: If you are the first person to present the solution to the company (on a sheet of paper provided with the game where you trace the pieces), you win 1,000,000 British pounds (yes, that's one million, currently about 1.6 million dollars). And the makers don't even seem to know whether there is only one possible solution, or more. The competition will close Sept. 30, 2003 (yes, you have three years). Eternity was conceived by Christopher Monckton, who in a press release is described as "an eccentric Scots laird" as well as "demon biker, author, journalist and broadcaster." Monckton launched his puzzle in the UK on June 2, 1999; it was released in this country for Christmas. Around half a million copies of Eternity have been sold, but no one has come close to solving it yet. Even a computer program (since banned from the competition) that tried to find the answer couldn't do it. Three smaller puzzles built on the same principle (Meteor, Delta and Heart, with 10-20 pieces) don't seem to be much help either. That's because the puzzle is "an NP-complete complex problem"—that's nondeterministic-polynomial; "any of a class of computational problems for which no efficient solution algorithm has been found," according to the Britannica. Supposedly, an "eight-year-old has as much chance as an adult of developing the skill and insight to solve" Eternity. Whadda ya know, you still might have a shot —By Norbert Schurer

Kroger Cover-up... How Cosmopolitan is Kroger? Not very: In a shady public relations move, the supermarket chain has decided to put the women's magazine behind blinder racks at the checkout counter in all of its 2,300 locations nationwide before Feb. 1. These obstructions will obscure all but the masthead and the models' heads on the cover of the magazine. However, Cosmopolitan's response is almost as laughable as the food store's idea According to Archie Fralin in Kroger's public relations office for the

mid-Atlantic

states, the company is reacting to

customer complaints about the raciness of the journal. Cosmo ? Racy? However, Fralin conceded that in this area, "We haven't been deluged by complaints" —about five to 10 per month came in. Nevertheless, the prurient appeal of Cosmopolitan, says Fralin, "is an intentional marketing strategy on their part," employed frequently, and can't be avoided at the cash register. He added that Kroger has not been selling Penthouse and Playboy for 20 years, implying that Cosmo was

moving in that direction. Hardly... For their part, the powers that be at Cosmopolitan seem less than shattered. Their lackadaisical press release in response to Kroger's action is a mere three lines; Cosmopolitan has the highest newsstand sale of any monthly magazine. Each month, more than two million women religiously go to the newsstand to buy Cosmo. It is one of the world's great brands that women have come to trust and rely on." The key word in this ridiculous argument, I think, is religion. Kroger is reacting to people who take their ideological views way too seriously, and Cosmopolitan is responding by completely blowing off these people's concerns. All stores in Durham have already been fitted with blinder racks. If you want the unadulterated experience of seeing Cosmopolitan at the checkout counter, you'll have to go to a Kroger in Raleigh before next week. Or just go to Food Lion, where filth is more tolerated. —By Norbert Schurer "

The sequel to 1995's cult favorite Friday hit screens this week under a haze of question marks. Although the first film's popularity guarantees Next Friday a solid box office performance, lingering doubts remain. Can it survive the departure of Chris Tucker, the funnier half of the comic duo whose chemistry built the original? After a string of memorable supporting roles —most recently in Three Kings —can Ice Cube carry off the leading man's job? With the shift of hip-hop culture to the East and South, is a flick about the LA hood still relevant? The answer is a resounding "Sort of." It is four years after that memorable Friday on which Craig Jones (Ice Cube) inhaled his first puff of marijuana, dodged gunshots and ultimately decked neighborhood thug Deebo (Tom 'Tiny' Lister Jr.). On the run >unty jail, Deebo is back on the streets and out for revenge. Craig's father (John Witherspoon) )ugh is enough and sends his son to lie low with lottery-millionaire Uncle Elroy until Deebo's age cools. lise is straight from The Fresh Prince of Bel Air and the film's tagline asserts that bs make the hood look good." But the real surprise of Ne torhood 100k5... well, a lot like the old neighborhood did. li burbanites, Craig's new neighbors include an exuberantly ndmother, a trio of gun-toting, low-riding Latino thugs am ce of fin-de-millenaire American comedy —a vicious guarc tbdued with a recreational drug. The plot dissolves swiftly into a string of vignettes, and i Steve Carr keeps the pace predictably brisk. Ice Cube's persona is as likable as ever, but his deadpan alone can't I movie as frenetic as Next Friday afloat. The void left byT departure is only partly filled by Craig's cousin Day-Day Epps), who draws a few laughs but never achieves Smokey's scene-stealing charisma. The most pleasant new surprises are a dazzling comic-book color scheme of acidic pastel and the Joker (Jacob Vargas), a pugnacious, diminutive Latin gangster with a secret soft spo for Ricky Martin. Ultimately, though, Next Friday is a whole lot more of the same: caricatured Angelenos, toilet humor and lots of marijuana. When the film works, the similarity to Friday isn't all bad—what was hilarious in 1995 still brings chuckles in 2000. But when the pace slows, the repetitiveness is a reminder that Next Friday falls just short of delivering!!} ;

Everybody is raving about Jim Carrey's performance as Andy Kaufman in Milos Forman's Man on the Moon. Carrey's rendition of the infamous entertainer part comedian, part performance artist, part enfant terrible —is indeed remarkable, but unfortunately, it's also all there is to this film: Man on the Moon is a simple biopic which offers no new insights or interpretations of its subject, and it lacks a coherent narrative or message. According to rumor, Carrey got so into his role that Jerry Lawler really beat him up when the two reenacted the corresponding scene from Kaufman's life. His performance is worth the praise, but it's never a promising sign when the story of a film's making is more interesting than the film itself. —

JUST LIKE ANNIEHALL Charlize Theron and Tobey Maguire make eyes at each other over a pair of arthropods. But do lobsters mate for life?

Who is Tom Ripley? The question is asked but never quite answered by English Patient director

Several times in Cider House Rules, Candy Kendall (Charlize Theron) tells would-be romantic partner Homer Wells (Tobey Maguire) to wait and see —which is exactly what he does. The movie, adapted from a John Irving novel, concentrates on a number of serious themes —personal growth, abortion, class and race —while dwelling languidly on landscapes and characters. We already knew that Maguire can act, butlheron's performance as the alternately somber, sad, exalted and funny young lady is a revelation. In one scene (by this time Candy and Homer are having an affair) Maguire walks in on a naked Theron and for a brief moment just watches her lying in bed (on her stomach). This scene alone, beautifully lighted and tastefully framed, makes the sophisticated Cider House Rules worthwhile. —By Norbert Schurer

Anthony Minghella's sprawling The Talented Mr. Ripley. On the surface, the storyline seems like a remake of Single White Female with white males. Tom Ripley (Matt Damon) crosses the Atlantic to haul prodigal Dickie Greenleaf (Jude Law) back to his megamogul dad. Unfortunately for Greenleaf, Tom's taste of the aimless, languid soul of wealth gets ahold of him and leads him to kill Greenleaf and assume his identity. Fortunately, the SWF parallels end there, and the paranoid, raging uncertainty begins. Ripley seems consumed by clashing sexual and emotional impulses, whirling from the arms of women to men to isolation to murder, set against a backdrop of glistening, fatuous opulence. Ripley claims early on that he can assume anyone's identity; the problem he faces is that he never quite seems comfortable in the shoes he tries to fill. Perhaps wisely, the film leaves Ripley unresolved and unexplained. Plotwise, this leaves WHEN DO OUR DATES GET HERE? Matt Damon, left, takes to Jude Law's plush Italian the film a bit of an unsatisfying mess. Fortunately, lifestyle just a bit too much. The results are fatal. the film looks so damn good, with Minghella's generous shots of rural Italy and the babyfaced American darlings that flounce there, that the cinematography alone is probably worth the price of admission. Ripley, then, certainly looks better than it reads, but it certainly doesn't stink.

Let's Talk About.•• Sex-oriented books don't just inhabit the shelves of adult "bookstores" anymore. They're going mainstream. By Norbert Schiirer It's that time of the year again: The AVN Awards, the Oscars of the adult entertainment industry, have been given out. And at the same time, a slew of new books on adult topics has been published, with varying degrees of success. Looking at the batch of books reviewed here, it seems that it is impossible to write the perfect book on the topic. While each individual book is interesting and informative, each can take only one angle —so it is necessary to read alt of them to get a well-rounded picture of the adult industry. Actually, the first book doesn't even pretend to be about pornography, except peripherally. James Petersen's The Century of Sex: Playboy's History of the Sexual Revolution, 1900-1999 was commissioned by Hugh Hefner (and has an introduction by the man himself) and published by Grove Press, a time-honored supporter of more or less erotic literature (including the first unexpurgated U.S. edition of Lady Chatterley's Lover). This book—a wonderful read —is really a social history of the United States since 1900, with an emphasis on the history of sexuality. Petersen, who used to write the "Playboy Adviser," traces his topic, decade by decade, from the anti-pornography (very differently defined then) legislation of the turn of the century to the more liberal 19205, from the 'wild' 1960s to the return of prudery in the 1980s. Apart from the almost regular ebb and flow of interest in, and toleration of, sex, the most startling revelation of this book—even though this should be obvious—is the close connection between other social trends and views of sexuality. For example, because World War II introduced women into the workforce, it also opened up their sexual opportunities, while the conservatism of the 1980s was reflected in the Meese Commission's critical report on pornography in 1986. Finally, The Century of Sex (my only beef with the book is that it claims such exclusivity for this century—similar developments have occurred in other centuries as well) is supplemented with interesting statistics (sexual and otherwise) about every decade, comprehensive bibliographical notes and an excellent index. The book is a must for anyone interested in the history of sexuality in this century. Luke Ford's A History of X: WO Years of Sex in Film is more obviously about pornography.

t€lSl

Big, Thick

The author is a kind of Arriana Huffington of the adult industry Despite being despised by most in the business, he runs the most wellknown gossip column (at lukeford.com) and seems to know every actor and actress, producer and director working today. This is his book's greatest strength; Much of it is based on extensive conversations with the individuals involved, giving it an air of authenticity and depth. Ford sticks to the usual historical division, distinguishing between the stag era (1900-1970), the golden years (1970-1980) and the video age (since 1980). Surprisingly, he makes little reference to the new wave of pornographic films that began, around 1990, to invest more money in production and tried to revive some of the narrative quality of the golden years. Unfortunately, Ford is a rather indifferent writer. The book does not have a coherent argument and reads like a collection of snippets instead of a full history. Ford constantly reveals the obsessions that bother him on his web site—such as Jewish (he is a convert to Judaism) and Mafia involvement in the industry—and gets some of his facts wrong—for instance, Fanny Hill was published in 1749, not 1640. But most irritatingly, Ford's text is far too simplistic and makes too many unsubstantiated claims. Central to his story is the assertion that "Pom belongs solely to men masturbating," yet instead of addressing the challenge to this statement posed by recent feminist pornography, he simply brushes it off as irrelevant and uninteresting. Moves like that keep A History of X at a low level of intellectual engagement—even while the book is fascinating for its glimpses of those involved in the industry. Even less interesting is the collection 100 Years of Erotica: A Photographic Portfolio of Mainstream American Subculture from 18451945 by Paul Aratow. In addition to the oxyContinued on next page

moron in the subtitle, this book (or its publishers) hide the fact that it is simply the reprint of a 1973 title. These antique pornographic pictures, accompanied by occasional feeble musings on sexuality, may have been titillating 25 years ago, but now they are just plain boring. More intriguingly, Linda Williams has published an updated version of

Hard Core: Power, Pleasure, and the 'Frenzy of the Visible,' her 1989 classic study of pornography. In that book she argued that the main problem of the genre has been to portray female pleasure. According to her sophisticated and well-informed argument, the industry has tried to solve that problem differently in each of its eras; simply by presenting naked women in the pre-cinematic period, with the 'meat shot' in the stag era, and with the cum shot since the golden years. Williams believes that the proliferation of different forms of pornography in the 1990s presages a possible end to the rule of the cum shot, though she is uncertain about what will replace it. "On/Scenities," the new epilogue to the revised edition of Hard Core, rights some of the wrongs Williams perceives in her own earlier work. Only now, for example, does she feel comfortable giving illustrations, and now she supports her previous historical distinctions by tracing the presence of pornography on and off the scene (using the unwieldy terms 'off/scenity' or 'ob/scenity' as opposed to 'on-scenity'). Hard Core is certainly the best critical investigation of pornography currently available. It is particularly good for the 1970s and early 1980s,

unfolds. But once the story'r narrative thrust is laid bare, it degenerates into Conan the Barbarian with a few microchips. And that's the biggest trouble with Timeline —it's been done, and better. Jousting, time travel and evil geniuses offer none of the exhilirating creativity of Jurassic Park. Even the concept of crafty Americans from the present day slumming it in medieval Europe is old hat —Mark Twain did that a hundred years ago with A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. But Twain's novel had heart, wit and creativity where Crichton's only has glitz. —By Tim Millington

where it analyzes key films in great detail and demonstrates that there is more to pornography than the denigration of females. But in spite of trying to address the bodily response to the genre, Williams cannot get a grip on the simple pleasure of (or disgust with) pornography—perhaps because her approach is simply too theoretical. So each of these books offers a distinct, and in its own way important and fascinating, perspective on the adult industry. The Century of Sex situates it in the context of social history, A History of X gives an insider's view and Hard Core performs critical analysis. Other fairly recent books add further points of view: Babylon Blue is the best history available, and Pornocopia combines a trans-atlantic view with more economic data. But until one book comes along that summarizes all of these perspectives, the best Linda Williams thing to do might just be to watch pornogra-

The makeshift roadways set up around the site resembled a marketplace more than a concert, with people selling food, clothes and drug paraphernalia. Who’s got my nugs?" was the refrain of countless stoners in search of pot, shouted every few seconds and scrawled on tattered signs throughout the crowd. The campground smelled like a head shop, heavy with patchouli and marijuana. Plenty of acid, shrooms, ecstasy,

ously, until the music transcends all structural

boundaries. Dedicated Phishheads see the band's songs as precious stones; some are rarer than others, and every version should be documented and appraised for its individual worth. To the band, their massive repertoire of selections serves as a musical playground, a kind of jungle gym where they can swing to the farthest reaches of rhythm and groove, blending one song into another and resurfacing a bassline, riff or even an entire song later in the performance seamlessly and effortlessly. While the first night's show was a spectacle-of musical genius, New Year's Eve was a time for celebration and endurance. Forget the mini-skit that kicked off the night, where the band flew through the crowd in a giant hot dog to revive Father Time by feeding him sausage patties. The real spectacle was the musical energy put forth by the band. For the

seven hours, the audience moved as one body below giant colorful balloons and fireworks. From the heavy rolling to the hypnotic movements of fans with glowsticks to the spacey, rhythmic music, the concert had a lot in common with the all-night forays of the rave scene. The music kept the crowd going through dawn as the band winded down the groove with the morning light, exhausted but exuberant. This festival testified that the music of Phish, rather than the ugly breed of rock-rap of Woodstock '99, is the true successor to the original Woodstock era. This mammoth show combined the sound and spirit of rock-and Lroll's greats. The ghosts of the past were reflected in the band's covers of The Who, Clapton, Velvet Underground and the Talking Heads, along with a smoking version of Zeppelin's "Good Times Bad Times." As a weary but satisfied Trey Anastasio crooned the sweet ballad "Wading in the Velvet Sea" against a pink sky, a girl standing next to me looked toward the sun that we had seen set so many hours before. This particular girl, reeling from an impressive array of drugs and totally naked since 2 in the morning, was apparently unashamed of her nudity even in the morning light. Dirty, bloodshot and still stoned, she looked at me and said, "It's so beautiful. Everything here is so beautiful." It might have been the drugs talking, but what she said was true. □ next

Juvenile Tha G-Code (UNI/CASHMONEY RECORDS)

Boy Bands. What emotions does this lovely phrase GVOke in your P s Vche? That Ju stin really is cuter than HA+ Sweater-Boy from 98 Degrees? Well, 1 believe you are overlooking the hottest boy on the block. You understand? No? Then looks like the joke's on you, ha. 7 No millennium would be complete without our favorite Hot Boy, platinum-toothed rapper Juvenile. Ah yes, you ,; do your fair share of backin' that ass up, don't you? Well, the number one stunta just released his latest album, Tha 3 G-Code. My first thoughts were, "Gee whiz, Mr. wasn't even finished bumpin' to your multi-platinum sucg[ cess, 400 Degreez. and had still had your Hot Boy compilation. Guerilla Warfare, on permanent rotation when I roll in my big-body Benz, ha" (with 20-inch rims, of course). So Juvenile and his cohorts, fellow Hot Boys B.G. (yeah, BlingBling, good for you) and UT Wayne are blowin' up, off tha hook etc But you may question whether Juvenile will go the way of a one hit-

GRADE: Ah

Nile,'

wonder (ha) or remain a steady fixture on Rap City and MTV Jams. In his favor, Juvenile possesses one of the premier producers in the hiphop industry, Mannie Fresh. Tha G-Code is laced with some of the tightest beats heard recently on any hip-hop album and is a fresh (no pun intended) departure from the style of fellow New Orleans producer Master P and his trademark thug-grunt. Yet Juvenile does deserve his adolescent moniker, if for no other reason than such foolishness as the infamous ' 1.4’ refrain on Got That Fire" that implores women to 'holler ' H -A -J&: at that (boy) if you want that Oscar Meyer' (it does rhyme with fire). But although his catchy epistrophe might get him his airplay, Juvenile remains an extremely dedicated artist (another Hot Boys album and movie are due out next _WV| month). This attitude of hard work is clearly seen in Tha GCode, where Juvenile basically tells people to "get off your ass and get the success that is yours." He has parayed this tough love attitude to continued success and has ensured that the block will remain hot, you heard me?

Whoa-day, indeed.

Corporate growth: Is bigger be tter? New mergers and unfair patent regulations concentrate too much power in too few hands A Life Unexamined Edward Benson Two seemingly disparate develop-

ments in the business world this week

caught my attention: the America Online/Time Warner “merger” and an announcement by Celera Genomics. These two events help to illuminate an ongoing pattern of recent business actions. The first news item is the purchase of Time Warner—the world’s largest media company—by AOL, the world’s largest Internet service provider. Venerable Time Warner, itself the product of a merger not even five years ago, made over $25 billion last year; AOL made under $3 billion. Yet thanks to its inflated stock value—based on presumed future revenues—little AOL has a greater “market capitalization,” or perceived value, than Time Warner. AOL used this leverage to snag a deal giving it access to Time Warner’s cable networks (for very high-speed Internet access) and vast content (Time, CNN, Sports Illustrated, and Looney Toons, for starters). AOL, which has made its fortune providing simple access to online services, is doubtlessly going to apply the same business model to as much of the new content as it can. As a result, this “new media” company will not only be very, very large, but it will also grow very, very fast: Analysts already estimate growth rates at over 30 percent per year, which is a remarkable figure for a media colossus. And make no mistake—AOL will

have a 55 percent stake in the new enormous. Entirely new opportunities company, clearly demonstrating who for immense influence and power are has the controlling interest in the new thus available to only a few plutocrats. “techno-cultural behemoth.” It’s not that these companies and peoAlso this week, Celera Genomics ple aren’t providing services, but that announced that it had successfully comtheir principal mission isn’t service, pleted a “rough draft” of 97 percent of but profits instead. More importantly, the human genome. A genome is the set these immense corporations have a of genetic instructions required to build deeper reach, more pervasive than ever an organism. Celera now has the before. As the old saw goes, “Power corsequences of practically every gene in rupts. Absolute power corrupts the human body, at least in approxiabsolutely.” mate form—regardless of knowledge of It is unreasonable to expect that function. And because established those in power will be different than patent law holds that merely having their historical predecessors: given the sequence of a gene grants the right power, they will use it to further their to patent that gene, Celera has started own agendas and positions. patenting human genes in bulk; They’ve William Randolph Hearst, a media already filed 6,500 such applications, a baron of an earlier age, abused his staggering number indeed. power at will, even to the point of synAlthough Celera CEO Craig Venter thesizing the content of his papers—has stated that the company will only the “yellow journalism” that produced develop therapeutics targeted to a fracthe Spanish-American War—and suption of the genes they control, and will make all information available for other researchers to use, the conditions for use of that genetic data will be strict, and designed to maximize Celera’s return. Both of these separate developments illustrate a trend; the growing concentration of almost unimaginable power in the hands of fewer and fewer people and

pressing the film Citizen Kane (no surprise, given the thinly veiled attack on him that it represented). But Hearst’s

influence was still limited enough that the truth would eventually get

through. Imagine, then, that there is a single company that controls a nearly complete blueprint of a human life. Furthermore, imagine a vast public necessity controlled by a handful of media conglomerates, pursuing only their own profits. Those companies would have enormous power not only to influence and control our health and welfare, but also to set public agendas worldwide by formulating our perceptions—reaching into our wery minds.

You’re there. Welcome to the year 2000. Have a

nice day!

corporations.

Of course, privatization of assets (including genes) engages capitalists (and thereby capital) to develop goods and services of benefit to humankind. Such an approach works in every field where it has been applied, and far better than any other system that has been tried. But the modern world is increasingly filled with powerful new technologies that are interconnected, and therefore

Celebrate heroes, but recognize they are human Into the Unknown Maureen Milligan The week before Christmas, I was sitting with my friend Laura in a coffee shop, trying to think ofcreative ways to teach my first graders about the desert. Knowing that my students are always interested in animals, I decided to teach a lesson about camels. I thought that the camel would be a wonderful example of an animal that has special capabilities that allow it to survive in harsh habitats. I thought my students would really enjoy learning that a camel is able to go many, many days without drinking water because it stores water in its goofy-looking humps. Then a new and abhorrent thought crept into my mind: Could I have been tricked? The idea of a camel’s hump being full of water suddenly sounded rather absurd. I hadn’t thought about this strange animal for many years, and I wondered if I could have been mistaken. I certainly remember learning about the camel in school, but that vague memory wasn’t enough to satisfy me. So I leaned over to my friend Laura, and very, very quietly whispered my question.

She started giggling. “No, you weirdo,” she said, that isn’t true. The camel’s humps are filled with fat.” She proceeded to tell me about the molecular amino acid mumbo-jumbo that really explains why the camel is the amazing creature that it is. My mind went numb and the only image I could picture was of a sad camel,

slowly leaking water from its distended humps. I started to mutter, “I learned it in school, it has to be true, I learned it in school so it has to be right.” A slew of memories filled my head. I remembered that it was only in sixth grade that I had a teacher who taught me that Columbus wasn’t the nicest explorer, and I had learned virtually nothing about the Japanese internment camps ofWorld War 11. And what about the recent article I read about the close relationship between many suffragists and white supremacists? I never learned that in school either. As I sat staring dumbly into my coffee mug, I attempted to make excuses for my teachers: They were only protecting me. Some things are just too

I remembered that it was only in sixth grade that I had a teacher who taught me that Columbus wasn’t the nicest explorer... hard to explain, and others are too painful to discuss. Who wants to learn that one oftheir parents has been adulterous or one of their favorite athletes is a money-grubbing jerk? Who can think of away to explain to six-year-olds the concept of a highly efficient liver? Frankly, most of us prefer a slight degree of ignorance, especially when it comes to the most revered things and events in our lives. But this historical view threatens to discourage us in the end. I believe we would be better off if we always knew the

shortcomings and frailties of our heroes. It is much easier to aspire to be like one of our heroes when we know that they were not angelic crusaders from birth. For example, this Monday we will be celebrating the birthday of one of our nation’s heroes, Martin Luther King, Jr. Although he was a phenomenal crusader for civil rights, seldom do we hear that at times he was much happier being a figurehead for civil rights rather than actually fighting in the trenches (or shall we say “sitting”) with his counterparts in the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. Rarely does anyone mention his proclivity for women. In fact, my brief mention of his frailties will certainly offend many people, but I firmly believe that demonstrating his humanity makes it easier for me to imagine how I might someday fight a similar crusade. It is difficult to aspire to be a saint—but much easier to be a leader. This is not to say that we don’t need to sugarcoat our lives at times. (Thanks to my storytelling, my entire class thinks that our classroom teddy bear, Fluffy, lives in the woods and rides with me to school every day.) We must recognize that a well-rounded view of history allows us to make connections between our heroes and ourselves, whereas a perfect “I Have a Dream” version of history is bound to disappoint us. Martin Luther King Jr., was a complex man who had his faults, but that reality does not diminish that he attempted to eradicate an evil by doing the absolute best he could do with the talents he had. And we should give him the utmost respect for that. Maureen Milligan, Trinity '99, is a former associate

IN OTHER BUSINESS: The Arts and Sciences Council unanimously passed its Principles for Arts and Sciences Faculty Governance. The document outlines the council’s relationship with the dean of the faculty of arts and sciences, William Chafe. One of its seven parts sets up regular meetings between Chafe and the council’s executiye committee; the first occurred last week. Council chair Steven Baldwin, professor of chemistry, said the group’s

planned look into academic integrity will be delayed slightly to wait for results from a faculty survey. The council also talked briefly in preparation for next month’s meeting, at which Dean of Trinity College Bob Thompson will talk about the ongoing implementation of Curriculum 2000. Baldwin announced his intention to convene a group of recently recruited senior faculty. These professors would discuss performing research at Duke, and how it differs from their previous institutions. Lastly, Baldwin said he was thinking about bringing a few selected upperclassmen and graduate

student teaching assistants to council meetings to talk about their experiences.

students. “Maybe [we couldl leave bulk coffee and orange juice and leave the dining

halls open,” he added. Pietrantoni said there was a similar early-moming drop off for bus ridership. As a result, he said, ‘The average cost per rider until 3 a-.m. was $3.48; from 3 to 7 a.m. it was $7.23.” Students had mixed reactions to the program. T went to the midnight breakfast,” said David Bernstein, a Trinity freshman. “Other than that, not really. I could study in my room, and if I was hungry, there was food in my room.” Others thought the services were very helpful. “The Great Hall was good,” said Dan Wang, a Pratt junior who went there two or three times. “It was really accessible. Otherwise you have to order [food

for delivery], and that takes time.” He added, however, that the project should not be continued if it is too expensive. “From talking to different people I think it was definitely a success,” said

Trinity sophomore Vik Devisetty. Devisetty, a Duke Student Government legislator, spearheaded the effort for all-night services as part of the Devils’ Desires initiative. “If there was any loss in money I think the University should take some loss because so many students are using the services.” He added that the services need not necessarily be around the clock, as long as they still serve a lot of students. Meetings will take place over the next week to discuss the project’s successes and failures, said Devisetty. The final decisions about 24-hour services in the future, however, will likely be left to the directors of individual

departments.

From staff reports At around 8 p.m. Thursday evening, a large tree fell across Campus Drive just east of Swift Avenue, completely blocking the road. Police rerouted traffic from the East Campus bridge to Swift Avenue for two and a half hours. Three Facilities Management personnel used a trenchdigger, rakes and power saws to cut the felled tree and then move the logs onto the roadside. The road was cleared at 10:30 p.m., but crews continued to work, above. “Old trees like that, the wind will push them over. The thing is, you never know which it will be...,” said Duke University Police Department Patrol Officer J.W. Griffin. “It was just a dead tree. The roots were pretty much gone.”

The license plate had been reported stolen Jan. 5 between 9 and 10 a.m., but Lt. Ed Sands of the Durham Police

Department said that there

was not enough probable cause for DPD to charge the man with theft.

� Kester downs Down

West’s career night gives Deacs rude a-Wake-ning By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

Under stars

Blue Devil soccer standout Sherrill Kester led the national team to the Australia Cup championship, netting the first goal of the 3-1 U.S. victory over Australia yesterday. The Duke senior emerged as the tournament's leading scorer, scoring three goals over the three games. She scored two goals in the 8-1 victory over the Czechs in the first round of the tournament, becoming just the second player in U.S. Women's National Team history to scorg twice in her first international match.

� Aloha means victory The No. 4 women's tennis team won its season opener against No. 18 Notre Dame, rolling 5-1 in Honolulu yesterday. The Blue Devils won the top four singles matches in addition to No. 6 singles, led by top seeds Megan Miller and Kathy Sell. Hillary Adams also recorded her first collegiate win at No. 4 singles. Duke will face No. 14 Tennessee today at 9 a.m. local time.

� Montana, rest of Lott hope for Hall Former San Francisco 49ers Joe Montana and Ronnie Lott head a list of 15 players and coaches named as finalists for enshrinement into the football Hall of Fame. The pair led the 49ers to four Super Bowl titles between 1982 and 1990. Also on the list of finalists is former Los Angeles Raider Howie Long, former Pittsburgh Steeler Lynn Swann and former Bills coach Marv Levy.

Brody Greenwald Game Commentary

Well, not exactly. Last night, West wasn’t entering a sealed victory in the final minutes so she could scrap for her career average of 4.1 points in 10.6 minutes.

West’s pace-breaking run last night is astonishing in that it might never have been. West’s surprise start in last night’s game was the result of two more likelier candidates, Krista Gingrich and Sheana Mosch, sitting the bench after missing practice due to the flu earlier in the week. The tri-captain stressed that she was pleased her strong ADAM GANZTHE CHRONICLE performance helped the team. MISSY WEST drives for two of her career-high 22 points during the second half of See WAKE FOREST on page 21 the Blue Devils’ romp over Wake Forest.

Instead, West was re-entering the game as the hero of an 82-48 steamrolling by the Blue Devils because her cosich wanted to give her the opportunity to put herself in Duke’s record books. ‘We found out [Westl just needed one more [three-pointerl to tie the school record so we wanted to give her that opportunity,” coach Gail Goestenkors said. So after hitting six of her first seven three-point attempts, West trotted out to the scorer’s table See WEST on page 23 I

48 might have surprised Missy West when she penciled her into the Blue Devil starting lineup last night, but as the final buzzer sounded on Duke’s 82-48 walloping of Wake Forest, it was the three time ACC coach of the year’s turn to be surprised.

Sunday, 4 p.m. Tallahassee, Fla

Florida State (7-6, 2-0 in the ACC) has had a schizophrenic run this season, pulling out quality wins over Vanderbilt and Wake Forest, yet losing to lackluster teams like Seton Hall, Massachusetts, and most recently, South Florida. In spite of their inconsistencies thus far, the Seminoles have managed two wins in the conference, both of which were decided by three points or less. Thanks to strong performances in conference play and perhaps, a bit of serendipity, they currently sit, along with Duke, at the top of the ACC standings. See SEMINOLES on page 22

CARLOS BOOZIR and the Blue Devils will be seeking their 23rd straight ACC victory Sunday when they take on fellow ACC unbeaten FSU in Tallahassee.

Winds of Summer blow foul: No cure for the ’Cuse as No. 7 N.C. State falls, UNC follows Orangemen escape USC in OT ffiFrom wire reports CLEMSON, S.C. iMaaSWBa Freshman Chrissy Floyd scored 15 points to lead five Lady Tigers in double figures, as Clemson upset third-ranked N.C. State Thursday night at Littlejohn Coliseum, 71-56. It was the second straight win over a top-12 opponent for Jim Davis’ team. Clemson downed 12th-ranked North Carolina in

Chapel Hill Monday evening, 60-59. It was the first loss of the season for Kay Yow’s team, which was attempting to tie the school record for consecutive wins. NC State is now 14-1 overall, 5-1 in the ACC. Clemson never trailed in the game. Clemson improved to 11-5 overall, 2-2 in theACC. It was the highest ranked win for Clemson since the season opener of the 1996-97 season, when Clemson upset second-ranked Georgia, 83-78. It was the 44th win over a Top 25 team for Jim Davis, the fifth time he has upset a top-15 N.C. State team in the last four years. It was Clemson’s fifth straight win over N.C. State and the fifth straight year Clemson has downed the Pack at home. Floyd scored 15 points off the bench. Nuria Forns added 13 points and seven rebounds. Starting guards Angie Cossey and Krystal Scott scored 11 and 10 points, respectively, while starting center Joanie Mungro added 10 points and eight rebounds. Mungro went head to head with ACC Player of the Year Summer Erb. Erb scored 13 and had nine rebounds, but she got just five field goal attempts against Mungro and the Clemson defense in her 31 minutes of play.

Ga. Tech 55, No. 15 UNC 44 Yellow Jacket senior Danielle Donehew scored 22 points and junior teammate Jamie Kruppa pulled down 12 rebounds as Georgia Tech beat No. 15 North Carolina 55-44 last night. In losing four straight games for the first time since 1991, the Tar Heels (9-6,14 Atlantic Coast Conference) had their lowest point total since a 51-44 loss to North Carolina State on Feb. 10,1987. The Yellow Jackets (10-5, 3-3) forced North Carolina to shoot only 32.4 percent from the field, including 17.1 percent in the first half. LaQuanda Barksdale, who leads the ACC in scoring at 19.1 points per game, was 4-for-19 from the field and finished with just eight points. Barksdale also pulled down 11 rebounds. North Carolina coach Sylvia Hatchell said the team would have an announcement Monday regarding the status of former starting point guard Nikki Teasley, who took an indefinite leave of absence on Jan. 9.

No. 2 Arizona 80, Wash. St. 75 Much to the shock ofcoach Lute Olson No. 2 Arizona came out for Thursday night’s game against Washington State wearing white headbands. After his team struggled to an 80-75 victory, Olson promised the headbands would never be seen again. “The headbands compressed the brains,” Olson said. “The first time I saw them was when they came out to warm up. You won’t see the headbands again.” Loren Woods scored a career-high 25 points and blocked a school-record 10 shots as Arizona barely survived, but Olson was livid about his team’s performance in its first game since beating thenNo. 1 Stanford. “We were outsized and they had better athletes, but it comes down to heart,” Cougars forward Chris Crosby said. “It was gut-check time, and we fought like crazy. We laid it all on the line.”

reports Syracuse 77 From wire COLUMBIA, S.C. use 74 Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim thought he lost his first game of the season. And so did everybody else at the Carolina Coliseum on Thursday night ‘That’s when senior leadership helps out. We knew we had to make big shots and we made them," said Ryan Blackwell, who scored six of his 15 points in overtime as the Orangemen remained the nation’s only undefeated major Division I team with a 77-74 victory over South Carolina. Tt was the only time in my life I didn’t know what the score was,” said Boeheim, who walked toward USC’s bench to shake hands with Gamecocks coach Eddie

Fogler when the hom sounded. His team got him straight about the overtime, then straightened up from their poor shooting the Orangemen (13-0) were 23-of-55 to win their third straight road game and move just two games away from their best start ever, 15-0 in 1986-87. “We didn’t get down,” said Blackwell, whose 3-pointer with a minute left in regulation put Syracuse ahead 56-55. “We talked about this a lot since last year. But Jason (Hart), myself and Etan (Thomas) want to take it upon ourselves -

to take over, take control” Hart, followed Blackwell’s three with his own to make it 59-57. Thomas, who had 19 points and five blocks, was the reason Syracuse wasn’t headed over with its coach to congratulate the Gamecocks (9-6).

No. 17 Ohio St. 53, Wisconsin 51 Ken Johnson’s block party stole the show from Michael Redd and Scoonie Penn. Johnson had 13 points, 14 rebounds and six blocked shots as Ohio State got its first road win of the season. Redd and Penn, the Buckeyes’ high-

scoring backcourt, went a combined 11of-30 from the field against the Badgers’ heavy defensive pressure. But Johnson’s offensive rebounding and timely defensive intimidation led the Buckeyes to a tough road win.

Wake Forest’s matchup zone plays into Blue Devils’ hands

And help the team shenotwithstanding a strong triDeacons, Demon The couldn’t match the Blue Devils. simply offense, angle On the strength of West, Duke took an early 9-0 lead and never looked back. Shooting five of her threepointers in the first half, West hit her last one of the half with just six seconds remaining.

Despite having more of a struggle in the second

half West went on to rack up a total of six treys, just a single three-pointer short of the school’s individual record, seven in one game, set last season by Nicole Erickson, the program’s most prolific single season three-point threat. Coach Gail Goestenkors noted that Wake Forest’s strategic moves placed Duke in an open position to shoot more threes. “Wake Forest has one of the better matchup zones in the conference,” she said. “They were a little small on the perimeter and I think they were probably a little worried that we would post up their guard, which we tend to do. So they played the zone when they did that, and opened it up for the three-point shot. Fortunately, we were hitting today.” With Duke leading 40-20 at the start of the second half, Wake Forest tried to mount a brief comeback and it stopped the Blue Devils from widening their lead through the first five minutes of the half. But Duke remained strong, regained its momentum and easily carried the game. With such an aggressive performance last night, Goestenkors was pleased with the team’s offense and focus, but she hopes to shore up the team’s defensive capability. “We trapped a little more than we have been,” Goestenkors said. “We pressed a little bit more, especially early on and that was good because we want to get back into doing a little more of that. On our traps, I felt we had some defensive breakdowns.” And as for her new perch as coach of the top team in the ACC, Goestenkors stressed that the team must

Yet the team’s Still, Goestenkors couldn’t hide her optimism best start in school history wasn’t necessarily some“This is the best chemistry we’ve ever had since I’ve been here” she said. “The team really genuinely cares thing she was expecting. “I am a little surprised at this point that we’re 4-0,” about each other.

While Arrington may lack the excitement of Williams, he is experienced and effective. But Duke’s endless parade of versatilCSwingmen will keep the Seminoles from gaining the upper hand. Look for Duke to tire out the Seminole backcourt corps and try and hold their own track meet.

Wing players Adrian Crawford and Antuan Dixon make up the meat of the Seminole bench, but that’s not much. Duke’s Mike Dunleavy alone scores 10.5 points per game, more than Crawford and Dixon combined. Bottom line, Duke has McDonald’s AllAmericans on the bench, FSU can’t get a McFlurry.

Erickson’s 3-point mark stays

intact despite West’s barrage WEST from page 19

and tie or break the with 4:44 left to try seven three-pointers school-record hit exactly one year ago Nicole Erickson today against Clemson. West would fail in her attempt to equal Erickson’s feat. She didn’t get a threepoint attempt off for three and a half minutes until she finally heaved a desperation shot in the face of a defender. With just West got her under a minute remaining, only open look from beyond the arc, but it too clanged off the rim and West wouldn’t get another chance at Erickson’s mark. Despite falling one three short of the record—in four less attempts than Erickson had—West set a few personal records. Back on Nov. 23,1996, West blew away UNC-Asheville with 20 points on

four-of-six shooting from three-point range to make an impressive statement as a freshman in her collegiate debut. Since that day more than three years ago, West had never seen the 20-point mark again—that is, until last night. Against the Demon Deacons, West nailed six of the nine three-pointers she attempted and broke her career-high in her finest game in a Blue Devil uniform. In only 28 minutes of action, West led all scorers with 22 points, snapping her previous record with a bomb from right in front of the Duke bench that bounced high off the front rim, careened off the glass and went straight through the cylinder with 16:07 left. The miracle shot wasn’t pretty, but the three-pointer gave West 21 points for the evening. Every fan in Cameron Indoor Stadium seemed to know exactly how

many points West had and that she had just surpassed her career high, but the senior admitted she had no idea afterwards how many times she had scored. “I’m happy that I scored the points, but points really don’t mean that much to me,” she said. “I was just lucky enough to pull off however many points I did—l don’t even know—but points to me don’t really matter that much.” It wasn’t all that long ago that Missy West came to Duke as one of its most exciting recruits in years and was named the preseason ACC rookie of the year. In high school, West excelled in basketball, softball and soccer as she was named the New York three-sport female athlete of the year in 1996. That year, West once scored 53 points in a single game as she became the fifth-alltime leading scorer in the state. After knee surgery forced West to sit out her entire sophomore season and hindered her production last year, she has become accustomed to new roles. During Duke’s 14-game winning streak, West came off the bench for the first 13 victories, getting the starting nod last night only because Gingrich and Mosch both missed practice Tuesday with the flu. “[The last couple years] have been pretty hectic, but it’s been fun at the same time,” West said. “I think I’ve learned a lot more than a lot of the other players sitting out the last two years because I got to see a lot of things offthe floor that my freshman year I didn’t understand. Even though I have been sitting out, I’ve had a great time.... It’s been a great experience.”

back from an injury and Rice has been solid all year, and Browne continues to have an outstanding year.

Backourt

Mm,

Last year, Clemson was loaded with perimeter stars like Itoro Umoh and Amy Geren, but this year has struggled until recently. While Scott had a careerhigh 16 points in a win against UNC, she is no match for Georgia Schweitzer, who is a leading contender for ACC player of the year.

In |

Freshman Chrissy Floyd came off the bench to pour in 15 points for the Tigers against both UNC and State, but besides her, Clemson has Batth and not much else. Duke, meanwhile, can bring in a trio of talented freshmen along with either Krista Gingrich or Missy West, depending on who gets the start. The Blue Devils are on fire, winning their last

games, but Clemson may be hotter. Jim Davis has worked a few miracles this past week, orchestrating upsets over North Carolina and No. 3 N.C. State last night. The Tigers’ win last night may effectively prevent Duke from looking past Clemson.

0&0

Clemson may have gotten the best of the Blue Devils last season, but Jim Davis’ squad lost just about everyone and must now endure a rebuilding season. Duke has handled its own losses with ease thus far. A lot depends on what Clemson team shows up, the one that has knocked off N.C. State and UNC or the one that fell to UNC-Greensboro earlier this year. Compiled by Neal Morgan Clemson puts up a decent fight, but Duke rolls, 65-53. —
